Abstract

Objective To explore the priority of magnitude of influencing factors on anxiety and to provide references for improving anxiety among junior high school students. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted from April to May in 2023, using stratified random cluster sampling in Zhengzhou and Shangqiu Cities of Henan Province. The adolescent self-rating life events check list, the Connor-Davidson resilience scale, the school connectedness scale, the parent-child cohesion questionnaire, the self-esteem scale, and the generalized anxiety disorder scale were used to assess the levels of negative life events, psychological resilience, school connectedness, parent-child cohesion, self-esteem, and anxiety among 8 176 junior high school students. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of anxiety, and the dominance analysis was used to explore the priority of magnitude of influencing factors. Results The detection rate of anxiety among junior high school students was 16.3%. Logistic regression analysis showed that being male (OR=0.819, 95% CI: 0.709-0.947), living in rural area (OR=0.691, 95% CI: 0.589-0.811), having a middle level of family economy (OR=0.742, 95% CI: 0.577-0.954), school connectedness (OR=0.969, 95% CI: 0.958-0.980), parent-child cohesion (OR=0.987, 95% CI: 0.978-0.996) and self-esteem (OR =0.876, 95% CI: 0.862-0.890) were protective factors, while being in the ninth grade (OR=1.476, 95% CI: 1.237-1.761), experiencing high levels of academic burden (OR=1.899, 95% CI: 1.298-2.779) and negative life events (OR=1.047, 95% CI: 1.041-1.052) were risk factors of anxiety among junior high school students (all P < 0.05). Dominance analysis found that the predictor variables exhibited complete dominance, in the order of self-esteem, negative life events, school connectedness, and parent-child cohesion, respectively. Conclusions The detection rate of anxiety among junior high school students was high. Anxiety among junior high school students can be alleviated by improving self-esteem, school connectedness and parent-child cohesion, as well as reducing the negative impact of negative life events.
